Age proof and timeless

Within the modest expressions of the facade a spatial programmatic play is addressing privacy, lines of sight, perspectives and different internal circulations. The circulation comes especially in play when looking at how the house is age-proof. The urban plan had a mandatory second level in the building envelop, which is designed as an artist studio in the present, but can be a separate accommodation for a help in case the couple needs permanent care when they get older.

Architect Pi de Bruin, Designer of the masterplan and supervisor of the planning board:

“The plan shows great control over the use of architectural concepts and strategies. Horizontal and vertical rhythms create a great composition that is both modest and lyrical. Terraces, canopies, the gallery and garden wall all contribute to the same rich composition. The size is accurate and harmonious.”
